Achiba (applied linguistics, Tokyo Woman's Christian U., Japan) studies a seven-year old Japanese girl (her daughter) as she acquires the ability to make requests at the beginning of her second-language learning experience in Australia. The ability to make requests of peers, teens, adults, and the author are examined. Achiba argues that the results show a steady development pattern and little difference in relation to addressee, except in play situations.

This book examines the acquisition of requests in English by a seven- year-old Japanese girl during her 17-month residence in Australia. The study focuses on the linguistic repertoire available to the child as she attempts to make requests and vary these to suit different goals and addressees. This book helps unravel features of pragmatic development in the child's interlanguage, a subject about which we yet know very little.
